>In Portuguese we have some accented words (like José). When I'm indexing my view, I use a function that changes all accented character with the unaccented one, so TiraAcento("José") returns "Jose". So my index is TiraAcento(Upper(nm_employee)), for example. What should I do to have my grid columns sortable ?

Jose,

If you want your grid column to be fully sortable, you have to resort to another collating sequence, like this:

SET COLLATE TO "GENERAL" && fine for Portuguese
do your indexing work here
SET COLLATE TO "MACHINE" && if your original collating sequence was machine.
